Date Calculation in BEx

Hello All,
In my report, User wants to see a day counter which is the dfference of a date (date coming from cube) and Current date. For current date we are using 0f_aday sap exit. How we can we acheive this, does it involve any User exits at the back end or can I use a calculated keyfigure to find the difference between these two dates.
Please reply to this as it is very Urgent Issue
thank you

HI AL,
Thanks for the udpate. But I believe we can update any thread if its related with the same subject if its less than 3 years. Is it not right ? I have a mail in my inbox, from some moderator confirming the same. That is the reason I have updated this thread...as its related to the same question and this thread is created n 2011.
Anyway, thanks for the answer. I will change the dimension to date and calculate the difference from the 2 variables.
Reg another doubt, from the below link...

what is the field used for Interval ( from, to , range) . You have missed my other question, why am I getting X below the result while doing the date calculation . I mean I am getting the result, but below every row, there is a X . Any ideas ?
Thanks,

How to get the "current date" in the BEx?

Hi all,
I need to get the "current date" in my Bex report in order to make a comparison. I know there is a "How to" which shows how to get the current date via a User Exit, but I didn't find it. Could you please help me?
Thanks

1. Create a New Formula in Key Figures structure
2. Give tech name and description and Select "New variable" option
3. Next screen will launch Variable Wizard -> create a new variable with replacement path as processing type
4. in next screene select the date characteristic that represents the first date to use in the calculation (From Date)
5. In the next screen select Key in the Replace Variable with field. Leave all the other options as they are
6. In the next Currencies and Units screen select Date as the Dimension ID.
6. Save variable
repeate the Above steps to create another variable (To Date)
and now you can use these two new replacement path variables in your new formula.

D: Dynamic date calculation

Hello,
In BEx, when creating a variant, is it possible to use "Selection variable = D: Dynamic date calculation"?
I have created a variable for 0calmonth and in the Variant Attributes screen, Selection variable field, the only option is T: Table Variable from TVARVC.

Error while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query

The following error is coming while trying to retrieve data from BW BEx query (on ODS) when the Characters are more than 50.
In BEx report there is a limitation but is it also a limitation in Webi report.
Is there any other solution for this scenario where it is possible to retrieve more than 50 Characters?

Hi,
That warning / error message will be coming from the MDX interface on the BW server. It does not originate from BOBJ.
This question would be better asked to support component BW-BEX-OT-MDX

Issue with status of data information in Bex analyzer report

Hi BI gurus,
One of the queries showing older date for the "status of data" information in the report of Bex Analyzer. I have tried to correct it in Bex analyzer by removing existing Text information element and adding a new Text element in the Bex Analyzer designer for the query. But it doesn't worked out as the changes made to the query through Bex Analyzer are only being saved as a local work book rather than reflecting to the query. Please suggest me with some options to resolve this issue and give any Idea to correct the "Status of data" in the Bex Query designer.

Hi Aditya
This is a common problem faced by users when reporting on Multi-Provider.
In my project what I did to overcome this is to run a Fake DTP to the cube whose status is creating problem.
Like , if under MultiPro I have a planning cube which is only updated monthly but all the actual cubes updated daily. In this case create a DTP under Plan cube with some impossible selection condition ( like fiscal year 2099). This will bring 0 records to planning cube ( and thereby not impacting the data) but will update the last loading time.

Schedule Line Delivery Date Calculation with Transportation Scheduling

Hi All,
We are currently running into a problem where our Sales Order Schedule Line delivery dates are being pushed out too far into the future - because of the Calendar being used to determine the transit time.
We have 'Delivery Scheduling' and 'Transportation Scheduling' activated for our Sales Document type
We have Routes that are configured with a 'Transit Time' and a 'Factory Calendar'
Order Scenario:
'Factory Calendar' assigned to our 'Route' is setup with only one 'Workday' in a given week e.g. Wednesday
Our 'Route' has a Transit Time of 2 days
We create a Sales Order on Monday for a Material that is available in our Plant
The 'Goods Issue' date is being determined correctly for the next Workday - being Wednesday
The 'Delivery Date' is extending out over 15 days (2 Wednesdays into the future) - since it is working on 'Calendar Days' and not 'Actual Days'
Does anyone know of a way (config or other) to only influence the 'Goods Issue' date with the 'Factory Calendar' assigned to the Route, and have the 'Delivery Date' calculated using the Transit Time on the Route and 'Actual Days' rather than Calendar days?
All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravelle<i></i>

Hi Pathik,
Thanks for your reply. I have already maintained the Calendars I'm using for this business process in <SCAL> - same as <OY05>.
The problem I'm having though is that by assigning a Calendar directly to my route (which I doing to influence the goods issue date - using a 1 Working Day Calendar) it is also taking precedence in determining the Transit time - which in this case I don't want, as I want my Transit time to be determined using a 5 Working Day Calendar.
I don't think this problem has a config option as a work around...I think the only possibility in this case is a development to achieve the results we need.
Thanks,
Ravelle

Due Date Calculation on A/R Invoice

The Due date calculation on an Invoice for a customer with a payment condition of 30 days is wrong on the system:
Invoice DocDate: 11.05.17
Invoice DueDate: 11.07.01
On the BP Master Data is set a payment condition of 30 days. So it should be a due date of June, not July. This is a invoice that comes from a Sales Order with Approval Procedure.
Our version is 2007 A SP:00 PL:49.
Thanks in Advance...

Requirement:
Document Date: 12th Feb 2008
Baseline date: 19th feb 2008(Excluding Sat & Sun).
Request you to share useful info in this regard.

Baseline date calculation in Invoice verification (MIRO)

Dear experts,
I need to set baseline date after 40 days from document date in MIRO.
Baseline date calculation of "Terms of Payment" in IMG has two parameters:
・Fixed day
・Additional months
We cannot set 40 days in these parameters.
Can anybody tell me how to set baseline date not month but date(not fixed day) ?
Please advise me on the settings SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Vendor Master>Define terms of Payment.
Thanks & Regards
Ken

Hi,
You can't do this.
The baseline date is the date on which the calculations are made.
So if you have 40 days to pay, this will be 40 days from the baseline date.
This will either be the document date or another date, but you can't (in standard SAP) have the baseline date as "X" days after "Y".
So the baseline date is the date of an event (e.g. the date that the Invoice was posted) not a calculation.
Is it possible that you have misunderstood the use of this date?
If you just want to ensure that the payment date is 40 days after invoice recipt, then set you just have to enter the number of days in the payment terms and the baseline date stays as the invoice date (etc.)

Baseline Date for Due Date Calculation required for S/L indicators

Hello,
Iu2019m facing the following problem
Iu2019m trying to insert an invoice (using a customer master record) but the system blocks me because the field ZFBDT (Baseline Date for Due Date Calculation) is a Required entry.
The strange thing is that if I use a S/L indicators the field is mandatory, if not the date may be defaulted.
I checked in OB41 but there are non differences between Special PK and normal PK.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Alberto

Dear Alberto,
the field "Due On (BSEG-ZFBDT)" cannot be controlled with field status.
It is controlled by field attribute of screen painter (Tcd: SE51). If
you look at element attribute for "Due On" field, a flag for required
entry is activated. In this case, field status has no control over
the field.
As of release 3.1G, field BSEG-ZFBDT is hardcoded in most FI screens
to be mandatory and cannot be influenced by any field status
changes. This situation is only valid when posting with special G/L
indicator (ie PK 29/39).
SAP development team has determined that this is a critical field. The
reason behind this is that this special GL screen and the data entered
here are very important to many other programs. This data affects
liabilities and receivables where due date is necessary almost
everytime. Thus, we changed this field in this screen in order to
prevent problems in many other areas. The reason is explained further
in note 95079.
I hope this helps You.

How is delivery date calculated

How can anyone please explain how delivery date is calculated using forward and backward scheduling
I want to have it broken down into the following steps
for eg for delivery date calculation following dates are used
Material Availabilty Date
Material Staging Date
Pick/pack time
Transportation PLanning date
Loading date
Goods issue date
Transit Date
Delivery Date
Can some one please give me an example and explain wht these dates are
for eg customer needs delivery date on 11/20/2008
how would the system cacluate whether it can meet the delivery date using backward scheduling
and if it doesnt meet how does the system do the forward scheduling
also i am not clear with the following dates
material avaialibilty date
material staging date
transportation date
can some one please explain me all this in detail
Also i have another question at the sales order creation when is shipping point and route determined
coz based on the ATP check only material avaialabilty date is determined and if we have a bacjground job running every 1 hours for atp then immediately when we create a sales order is a route and shipping point determined (just before we save the sales order)
Let me be more clear
Suppose customer representative recevies a order on the phone
he enters sold to party, ship to party ,PO number,delivery date and material number and then hits enter
so at tht time the shipping point and route is determined ?
also when an atp check runs and if the delivery date is not met then the system will propose a new delivery date but if we have a different route configured say for eg overnight so we can meet the delivery date and we want to change this route to overnight what must we do?
should we change the shipping condition in the header?
I am not very sure about the process can you please also explain me this in detail?
Thanks

Hi there,
When a sales order is logged & the user enters the requested delivery date, system 1st does the backward scheduling date. Pla note that the factory calender mentioned in the shipping point & route plays a crutial role in defining the working days & confirmed delivery date.
For eg: Customer has raised an order on 11/15 & requests delivery on 11/20/2008.
the following times are important in delivery scheduling.
Transit time: maintained in route
Loading time maintained in the shipping point
Transportation planing time maintained in the transportation planning point.
pick pack time maintained in the shipping point.
Material availability time maintained in MM02 --> MRP screens. This is the time that the material can be manufactured (for inhouse producted items) or external processing time (for externallly procured materials like TAS items).
From the requested delivery date 11/20 system does the backward scheduling & determines the following dates:
Goods issue date, loading date, pick pack date, transportation planning date & material availability date.
Time between:
goods issue date - reqested delivery date: transit time
Goods issue date - loading date: loading time
transportation planning date - pick pack date: picking pack time
Material availability date - transportation date: transportation planning time.
Consider that the factory calender has all days of the week as working dates (to make it simple to explain). Also transit time is 3 days, loading time is 1 day,pick pack time is 1 day, material availability time is 3 days.
From 11/20 ussing backward scheduling system determines the following dates:
Goods issue date: 11/17
Loading date: 11/16
Pick pack date: 11/15
System will check if material is available on the 11/15 to start pick / pack. If it is available then system will confirm the reqested delivery date. Else it will check when the material is available. For eg basing on the MRP settings mnaterial is available only on 11/18. So from 18th system does forward scheduling & redetermines all the dates. So pick / pack date is 11/18. Loading date is 11/19, goods issue date is 11/20 & possible delivery date is 11/23. So system will confirm the delivery date on 11/23. This is when complete delivery is required. If partial delivery is allowed, then system will check how much quantity is available on 11/15. Accordingly it will give 2 delivery dates.
In the above example include teh factory calender which will have 5 day week with Fri & Sat as holidays. Accordingly dates will change.
Here replenishment lead time also plays an imp role. Pls refer http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/6b/2785347860ea35e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm for further information

Dynamic Date Calculation for Current Date - 1

I am trying to create a variant with a dynamic date calculation attribute.
I am following the instructions as they are posted to the web but I get an error message.
I want to get all data EQ to the current date -1
In the object for selection screen I enter a D for Selection Variable, for Name of Variable I enter an I to include specific values and the option EQ for current date +/- ??? days. Then I enter 1- for the number of days. I have tried to enter this many times and in many ways but it doesn't work. I keep getting this message "lower limit of interval is greater than upper limit"

Hi,
Welcome to SDN.
Selection-screen has four values -
SIGN
OPTION
LOW
HIGH
Pass your date value in the option low for the screen.
Sign you have already pass as I and option as EQ.
Regard,
Amit
